Chapter 492 Adulterated

After hearing Krystle, Anya could easily say Krystle admired Linus for his selfless work toward people who were in need. She loved to help Linus with his work in her free time. However, Krystle might not like to do it without Linus around.

Doing something with the loved one gives you satisfaction which wouldn't be the same without them. Even the fun becomes boring when you try to enjoy something without them.

Thus Krystle won't be helping out the loved one or spending time with Linus anymore. Her help all these days will become a responsibility.

If Krystle loses interest in the start-up company, she won't be able to face Linus and the latter won't be in a position to say anything to her.

Considering how passionate and dedicated Linus was with his start-up and social service, both of their lives will be estranged if Krystle backs out.

Nevertheless, Anya didn't want to discourage Krystle if she wanted to try her hand at the start-up. In her opinion, Krystle shouldn't leave behind her life as a model and influencer. Therefore, one day if Krystle chooses to step away from the start-up or breaks up with Linus, she won't regret her decision.

Anya lightened the mood seeing Krystle confused and also scared of hurting her relationship with Linus. "Do you realize that you are in love with this boyfriend of yours?" Krystle never changed or put in effort for any man so far.

Giving up on their likes, dislikes, and passion, prioritizing the other one before themselves, unconditionally being supportive of the other one, afraid of losing the person weren't negligible changes one has.

Krystle smiled at the question but widened her eyes immediately. She swallowed hard, recalling Anya's silly smiles, stupid decisions, and unwavering trust in Alvin, "Am I looking like a fool like you were in the college?" She didn't want to look like a lovestruck fool in front of Linus Collins. That would be so girlish.

Anya: "…"

Was she looking like a fool?

Anya squinted her eyes at her friend. She didn't mind looking like a fool, instead, "Do you mean I don't love my husband?"

She should still look the same after marrying the love of her life. Shouldn't she?

Krystle rolled her eyes and slumped to the backrest of the sofa. She imagined Anya years ago and the current version. "I mean your love is adulterated."

In the past, Anya had zero expectations and wished nothing but happiness for Alvin. And Krystle felt like she had become the same. However, she did hope for Linus to be loyal and live with her.

Anya was rendered speechless yet again. She got a response to her question from Krystle's question. Slapping her arm, Anya suggested first, "Krystie, just like how celebrities have their makeup brands or restaurant chains, and continue their career in the entertainment industry, you should do like that." She needs a good manager to handle her schedule. Or if her assistant could handle it, that's well and good.

Krystle became thoughtful after hearing Anya. It felt too much to handle for her. "Linus never gave his work to others who do it for salary." He always wished for the passionate ones to take the work.

According to Anya's suggestion, they will have to hire someone and she could only supervise. "What if Linus doesn't like my focus on two things?"

Anya was aware of that. However, her priority is her friend and her life, then comes Linus and his principles. "What if YOU lose interest in the start-up after some time?" She paused. She shouldn't pose questions for Krystle and make her more confused.

She patiently put down her thoughts, "We don't know what we have in the future, Krystie. I don't want you to regret anything in the future."

Krystle's interest in the NGO or the start-up was because of Linus. Anything could happen with the passing days. She might end up loving it or hating it to her core.

Hearing the future, Krystle opened her lips and closed them. She hadn't thought of it. She just feared disrupting Linus's dream.

Just some weeks ago, Anya was in the middle of leaving the job she liked. She hoped she was directing Krystle on the right path. She added, "If you love your new job, I will support you to completely switch to it if that's what you wish for."

Anya lifted her brows and waited for Krystle to give some reaction or ask her question and speak of her dilemma. But Krystle sat silently for some time and almost jumped on Anya.

"Annie…" Krystle squeaked, hugging her friend, "You are the best thing that happened in my life." She was glad her friend was there to think for her.

Anya chuckled after hearing her. Honestly, she wouldn't have survived past years without her best friend. So what she was doing to her friend was a drop in the ocean.

Rubbing her back, Anya offered the help she could do, "I could keep you updated about all the schemes and funds information government allotments for natural causes, housing, and employment."

Krystle who slowly sat back to Anya's words grinned ear to ear. With her father and brother's connection in business, Bernard's connection in political families, Anya's information about the government schemes, and her skills for negotiation, Krystle was eager and thrilled to take on her new job.

"I love you, Annie…" She squeaked in excitement and grabbed her friend to kiss her on the cheek. "

Anya was glad Krystle wasn't scared anymore and confident again. She chuckled first and cried when Krystle squeezed her in a hug. "I love you too…"

Without hearing the steps, Krystle leaped off the sofa feeling energetic, "Let's go and shop till we drop." She whooped.

Anya was laughing when Alvin and Linus entered through the door. Zane had rushed to the stairs to make sure the two ladies were doing good.

Krystle skipped to her boyfriend and took him aside, telling him all her plans for the start-up. Alvin ignored the little man's eyes and saw his wife, who was eager to know the status of his plan.

Well, the status was Casper was burning in rage, head to toe but he couldn't drop the act. If he dares to drop it, he will start to count the bars.

Any plan, the end result was what Alvin wanted. Liam will be the chairman, Linus will be the CEO, and Casper will be behind bars.
